Status
Completed: 19 June 2020
Project Details
A one-year project by the Freedom Institute of Higher Education that presents a model of learner support that builds on applications of Mason Durie's Whaiora: Whare Tapa Wha model.
Aims:
This project presents a model for learner support that builds on applications of Mason Durie’s original Whaiora - Whare Tapa Wha model, and Moeau’s 1997 introduction of the fifth taha whenua dimension, to become the Whare Tapa Rima – The Five-Sided Home model.
Expected outcomes:
The planned outcomes from the project will be an instructional video and guidebook toolkit designed to support tertiary-higher education institutions to implement the model to improve learner achievements.
Methodology:
The project design includes:
- a literature review
- development of the model for higher-tertiary education organisations
- an evidence-based evaluation of the successful implementation of the model at Freedom Institute of Higher Education
- the production of a video explaining the model and ten best practice exemplars of the model in practice.
